So, I saw The Notebook. I hated it! So many people were talking about how wonderful, sweet, and amazing it was. It was no such thing. And that's not just because I am a bitter single guy. Hear me out. I hated it because it made a big deal out of something that should be normal. Now, I didn't know that my views on marriage, love, commitment and the such were so radical. However I have always thought that when you are married you are in it to the end. I don't see how your other half getting Alzheimer's and not remembering who you are makes you any less married. Does commitment end that easily? I submit that it does not! I think that's a great story and it reminds me of the Pastor who stepped down from Pastoring when his wife got Alzheimer's in order to take care of her. He did that because he said his wife is his first ministry. That's nothing special, that is just how it should be. It is 'til death do you part, not 'til Alzheimer's do you part. So, it's a great story, but I just had always thought that something like that was nothing special, but was something that should be the norm. I guess I'm pretty radical in my thinking. Leave me a comment, what did you think about it? |
